a CRV is ANYTHING but a truck..... everything about it is VERY light duty.... not far from a Civic

that 96 Cherokee I had took more abuse from me than any car I've ever owned. I worked out of it for two years before I bought my van. I gave it to my sister and about 6 months later the transmission crapped out. It took me 6 months to find a 2wd transmission. I only gave $30 for the transmission. I swapped it out, drove it for a week and sold the car. With my daughter approaching driving age, I wish i still had that car for her. It was simple to work on and reliable. They have gotten very hard to find now, most have been consumed by the off road crowd or bubba-fyed to the extent I wouldn't have it

My 98 Cherokee 4.0L has 214K miles on it and still starts right up. It's hauled V20's to and from Fla. (1600 miles one way) twice without a hiccup. Been in 3 accidents, all caused by people running into my rear or making illegal turns into my lane of traffic. (none charged to me) And I've never gotten so much as a scratch from any of them. They are incredibly tough, strong workhorses.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

Charlie my sister had a crv (recently totaled by a hummingbird on roids) and it was a good vehicle. It wont pull the string out of a cats azz but was dependable. If you just need it for work commuting it should be fine. Just keep pads with you for when you start menstruating.
